It's the 22nd century: Galactic travel is commonplace, peace is at hand, and the
future looks bright - until Goldfire's plan to unleash an army of military
mutants shocks the galaxy. Dr. Goldfire, a brilliant bio-scientist whose morbid
research led to incredible genetic improvements in humanoids and aliens, has
gone power crazy.
And only the galaxy's best agent, Blake Stone, has a chance to infiltrate
Goldfire's secret fortress on a remote planet, and end the evil before it's too
late. Up against absurd odds, and the most hideous genetic creatures and armed
personnel ever amassed, it's up to you to help Blake in his most dangerous
mission ever, classified: Planet Strike!

Installation:
Copy all the *.VSI files except CONFIG.VSI into the drawer. The game needs the
1.00R or 1.01R registered version. Shareware is NOT supported.
On the first startup the game will pre-render AdLib sounds and music. This can
take a while depending on the machine speed. To restart the process, delete the

missing sounds individually if needed.
